What
This is my first attempt at trying to build a Wiki-like knowledge base on top of the Flutterby content management system.
This is a place for explanation, description and static links on a topic that's either too broad to be covered under a single link, or that you're just too lazy to find the real link to.

MythTV is Open Source![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}
software that turns a Linux computer into a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) - much like a TiVo device. The benefits of setting up a MythTV box are:
- It's free. There is no charge for the software and no subscription fee.
- Available plug-ins provide additional functionality, such as weather information, games, etc.
- No advertising schemes (since the makers of MythTV are not trying to generate revenue from the product).
- Since MythTV is not a commercial product it is expected to not be bound by the FCC's broadcast flag requirements.
- Available themes allow you to change the look of the screens.
